Animal rights

human or animals, both of which have guidelines that need to be met. Therefore, it should be seen as ethically correct before any action is made.

Finally, Carruthers declares that animals do not have a moral status by saying that they are not “rational agents”, which is “...a creature that has beliefs, and acts on them to satisfy its desires.” (Carruthers, 1999, p. 126). Carruthers believes that mammals do have forms of desires and views, but still does not consider them as rational agents. Since Carruthers talks about the issue of animals and whether they should attain ethical rights, is from a contractalists perspective; the term…

campaign, which was a global exhibition travelling the globe from 2003 to 2005. The campaign drew attention to the comparisons between the ill-treatment and slaughter of animals on factory farms and the mass murder of the Jews in the Holocaust. The exhibition featured eight sixty square foot panels, each showing juxtaposed images of animals in slaughterhouses and Jews in concentration camps (Schinke 2009). Each of the panels included a brief description of the analogy of the respective matter of…

In contrast, killing animals is not valid because it is cruel thing to do. First, some country kills many animals for ceremony by cruel ways. For example, they cut animals’ head while they still alive. They stabbed animals with no mercy. It is uncivilized festival. As Pickover says “the cruel traditions should not be admiration and respect because it is not a good culture” (Berger, S, 2009). So, killing animals that brutal and inhuman is not an appropriate thing to do. In the ceremony, we must…

forward, and necessary in fact for survival. We, as a society, need to change the way we live for the sake of the earth, the animals, and ourselves. The most practical solution, and the one that would have the most impact, is to shift to a more plant-based diet. Vegetarianism means not eating meat while veganism is a lifestyle that entails not consuming or using any animal goods, and while it may seem extreme to some, the benefits of such a diet are enormous. It seems that today almost everyone…

for people to reduce the chance of a incident to happen and lower the risk of aggression is to pass laws that will regulate the capture and captivity of marine mammals. Some countries around the world are considering to ban the capture of aquatic animals because it’s recognized as a cruel practice from humans to confine and restrict freedom to very smart, and wise creatures. For instance, a congressman from Southern California named Adam Schiff announced on November 6th of 2015 that he would…

In this essay, I will argue that it is morally wrong to produce animals for food. I will do this by appealing to Leopold’s views on “the land”. First I will explain three views on animal rights by philosophers Tom Regan, Peter singer and Aldo Leopold. Tom Regan believes that each subject of life is an individual that cares about his or her life, therefore that life has inherent value. This inherent value is equal among all who have it, and one cannot have more inherent value than another. We…

it is about animal equality. In, Animal Liberation, Peter Singer argues that we should extend the same rights and equality of human beings to non humans; animals. He does not make this claim meaning animals are equal in abilities, opportunities, or their logic towards life. Also, if he achieves his claim he does not agree to have equal rights towards animals. Peter Singer argues for equal consideration. This means that if an animal were to feel pain and suffering, then the same rights should be…

articles and books on animal welfare and ethics. He is also the president of Hayword Friends of Animals Humane Society (Sapontzis 382). Steve F. Sapontzis begins his introduction by identifying the purpose of his writing, to help readers understand the primary issues of debate about eating meat and the motivations behind them (Sapontzis 10).
